The Story of Punch and Judy.

The romantic story of Punch and
Judy is, in it's original form, as follows:
Mr.. Punch, a gentleman of great per-
sonal attraction, is married to Miss
Judy, by whom he has alovely daugh'
ter. To the baby no name is given in
the piece, the infant being too young
to be christened. In a fit of horrid
and demoniac jealousy Mr.. Punch, like
Il second Zeluco, strangles his beauti-
ful offspring. Just as he completed
his dreadful purpose Mrs. Judy enters,
witnesses the brutal havoc, and exit
screaming; she soon returns, however,
armed with a bludgeon, and applies it
to her husbands head, (Which to the
wood returns wooden sound" Ex-
asperated by jealousy and rage,
Mr.. Punch seizes another bludgeon
and lays her PROSTATE at his feet;
then selzing the murdered infant and
expiring mother, he filings them both
out of the window into the street.
The dead bodies having been found,
police officers enter the dwelling
of Mr.. Punch, who flies for his life,
mounts his steed, and the author neg
lecting like other great poets, the con-
filming nnities of time and place, con-
veys his hero into Spain, where, how
ever, he is arrested by an officer OF
the terrible inquisition. After endur:
ing the most cruel tortures with in
credible 1ortltude. Mr.. Punch, by means
of golden key Ia beautiful and novel
allegory), opens his prison door and
escapes. The conclu sion of the affect
ing story is satlrical. allegoricaa and
poetical. The hero is first overtaken
by WEAKNESS and laziness in the shape
of black dog, whom he fights and
conquers; disease, in the disguise OF q
physician, next arres is him but lunch
sees through the thin pretence," and
dismisses the doctor with a few derog-
atory kicks. Death at last visits the
fugitive, but Punch lays about his car

his antagonist rattle so musically,
that

Last Of all comes the devil; first, an

but afterwards in his own natural
shape, to drag the offender to the in:
fernal regions in purgatory, to expiate
his dreadful crime. Even this at

Toilets in Washington.

The New York SUMS Washington
correspondent says of social usages
among the ultra-fashionables of the
national capital:
To such degree has money been
creeping in that heretofore simple,
informal tea has now become the &C.
casion of the most elaborate floral
decorations and, on the part OF hos
tesses, full-dress toilets. At an alter
noon tea given a few weeks ago the
drawing-rooms and hall were bower
of tropical plants and rare cut flow
ers. The stair-rails were covered with
smilax, and posts of blooming plants
were in a line on the steps. The whole
effect was that of evening party, until
the guests entered in street toilets. 1t
must be said that these "swell" par
ties are not given by Washington peo-
pie, but by those rich people who come
here, take a house tor the season and
bend their energies to making show OF
money. After one season. if they stay
longer, they subside, and soon settle
down to something like refinement and
good sense. These exhibitions have

R,issia's Political Police,
rom the st. James's Gazette

From the st. James's Gazette.
That the Russian political police
never forgives is pretty we'll known.
Here is an illustration. In the year
$50 Stanislaus Jablonowski, the son
OF a Polish country gentleman, wan
appointed from one of the military
schools at st. Petersburg to a COM
mission in a guards regiment, and
had leave to visit his home before
joining. While he was still with his
family the Polish instruction broke
out and the lad was ordered by his
father to join the insurgents. He did
SO, much against his own will las he
told me,) his Russian military educa-
ton having somewhat blunted his
patriotism; but as his father threaten
ed him with the paternal curse in case
of disobedience, he threw his lot with
the patriots. When in the following
year the instruction was extinguish-
ed, young Jablonowski was fortunate
enough to escape through Wallachia
to Turkey, where he entered the regi-
ment of Cossacks of the guards then
chiefly composed OF Christians of all
nationalities differed by Poles, the
commander being Gen. Czaykowski
Pasha.) In this regiment he rose
gradually to the rank OF adjutant
major; and left the service, infirm and
broken in health, about 1875, obtain
ing small berth of three or four
pounds a month as assistant sur
veyor ofroads in the district of Sliven.
Here he vegetated quietly till 1877,
and unfortunately for himself, elected
to stay in the town OF Sliven until
the entry of the Russians; never
dreaming that he would be punished
for having fought against the Russians
fortyseven years previously. But
the police section of the army which
occupied Sliven brought with it seven
photographs Of persons who were
wanted" and among them was a
portrait of Jablonowski taken six
years previously at Adrianople. Al
though arrested, he was at first treat
ed very leniently, and invited daily to
dinner by officers who knew his story;
but few weeks afterwards orders
were received to convey him to the
Danube headquarters. and he was
sent under escort with commissariat
transport caravan. At first he was
allowed to sit on a baggage-w wagon,
from which, after an hour or so he
was forced to alight and walk. For
some distance he managed to make
his wav fhrouph fine snow and mud
then fell, was flogged with the national
whip (nahika) till he stumbled up and
proceeded few more PAGES; then he
fell second time, and, flogging prov
ing useless, was shot through the
head and his corpse left lying by the
roadside.

ssPlant The White Pine.''

Mr.. E. F. Brockway has good words
in 1.-THE Western Rural" for white
pines and evergreens in general, which
he began planting on his bare farm in
1856. What he has learned of their
rapidity OF growth, benefits for beauty
and use, and means OF propagation
makes a valuable contribution to the
current literature of agriculture:
II planted white pine with lavish
hand because they were cheap. l
brought them from open clearing in
Wisconsin, but also bought and plant
